Dr. Laspeyres brings evidence from a very 

 Combating extended trial of insect lime against the

"Nun." of its ineffectiveness, and combats the posi- 



tion taken regarding this theme by Putscher 

 in the November number of the same magazine.

 tne dreaded damping off or "Schiitte" and which in Germany at- 

 tacks plantations as well as nurseries, with practical deductions. 



When in 1852 Goppert suggested a fungus as cause of the
